    Answered Prayer

     One of the most horrible
    Things in my life
    Was knowing I might have
    To kill him with a gun or a knife

     I struggled for two years
    Of having this terrible thought
    But I told God It was
    Going to be another battle I lost

     I told God I just can’t
    Take anymore hurt and pain
    My mind was going fast
    It was driving me insane

     I stood over him one night
    With a gun, tears streaming down my face
    I said why am I here God
    I seem so out of place

     I’ve been told by many
    Not to tell this story
    But I have to, to
    Give God all the glory

     He sent a special angel
    That would save my life
    We fell in love and later
    She became my wife

     He saw me hurting
    And crying, standing there
    He took this time to prove
    He does ANSWER PRAYER

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
